Please help the Flying Tigers Squadron plan future MS Flight events.
We would like to get your opinions on what aircraft and/or locations you would like. The first event is this Thursday, 5/16/2013 on the Big Island of Hawaii using the PT-17 Stearman. This is an event anyone can joint since everything you need is FREE, including the default aircraft.
NOTE:The Red Tails P-51D is/was also FREE, but I am not certain it still is FREE.
I know many of you may have purchased some/most/all of the DLC for MS Flight, and might be interested in events that require more than the FREE stuff. So here are some possibilities.
1. Events using the Hawaiian Adventure Pack -- All the islands and the Van's RV-6 (one of my favorite aircraft). This DLC has proved to be a "must have" for me! Great islands with great scenery, more aerocaches, inter-island flying, RV-6, the main island, more missions, and more challenges.
2. Events using Warbirds with no cockpits!
A. Vought Corsair F4U - Major interest from ACE here!
B. Curtiss P-40 - Major interest from the Rob Drew Squadron here!
C. Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero - Major interest from Storm here!
D. North American P-51D - everyone usually has the Red Tails version, and it seems to be the first warbird we use.
3. Maule M7-269-C. This one is a class by itself, and appears to be an acquired taste. It is usually used by the Clandestine crowd.
4. Events using the Alaskan Wilderness Pack (needed for many of the newer Aerocaches). You also get the "uncockpit" version of the Carbon Cub.
The Alaskan Wilderness Pack represents a significant increase in the land area and number of airports available to fly. It is probably the most under utilized DLC in Flight which merits future event usage.
5. Events using the Carbon Cub DLX (with cockpit and GPS!). This is a favorite of AndyRoo and most of the rest of the Flying Tigers Squadron.
This guy can land practically anywhere, and is great in Alaska. Definitely the most underrated aircraft by those who crave more powerful/fast aircraft.
6. Last (but no least for me) the Curtiss C-46 Commando. It does not have a cockpit, and is a bear to handle on the ground, especially on small airstrips.
It's other less than admirable characteristics is that turning it and landing it takes a little more patience and planning that the average aircraft.
However it is one my favorite aircraft in MS Flight (along with the RV-6 and the Zero), and I use it on almost all my Clandestine Cargo missions.
So that is my view of some of the different things to focu on on when planning future MS Flight events.
Please let me know what you favor, and would like to see in any future MS Flight event.
We are trying to find a balance between the FREE and DLC required type of events.
Thanks,
Coast
PS: Use your imagination. We could have multiple warbirds, and/or different GA aircraft together. And do not forget the Icon A-5, slow, simple to fly, GPS, and water landing capable.
